This research focuses on understanding causes of violence and offending in people with severe mental illness and to enhance clinical care and recovery from the impacts of serious mental illness and criminal justice involvement.
Using the Screening, Triage, Assessment, Intervention and Re-integration (STAIR) model to approach care pathways in correctional settings, research in this group aims to understand causes of the high proportion of individuals with mentally illness in the criminal justice system and design and evaluate care interventions and systems to improve outcomes and prevent criminalization.
In this research area we explore ethics and forensic mental health, including issues around coercive care and procedural justice, relevance and impact of case law with respect to forensic mental health care (such as criminal responsibility and fitness to stand trial), and legislation on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) as relevant to correctional and forensic mental health populations.
This area of research focuses on understanding the causes of illicit sexual behaviours and to inform treatment development and prevention strategies. These programs include the MOSAIC treatment program and Talking for Change, a national program offering therapy, as well as anonymous phone and chat support, to adults who are concerned about acting on their sexual attraction to children.
Until December 2, all donations will be matched to help create a future where Canadians can get the help they need, when they need it—no matter who or where they are.
